Badboy's Venom

chapter 27

ZOE'S POV

No matter what I do or how hard I try to look my best. Mike keeps on going back to her then returns back to me claiming he loves me, I even doubt he does. I was standing there, speechless. I saw him! I saw Mike allowing Natasha to touch him. The thought of seeing the memory repeating itself on my mind drives me crazy. Her tattooed arms moving all over Mike's chest, who even have tattoos while still in high school? I won't ever understand that girl even a single day.

"I'm sorry about what happened maybe I shouldn't have told you about Mike and Natasha being intimate yesterday." Carl apologetically says as he's focusing on the road. "No don't be, you did well by telling me at least now I know where I stand and I'm sorry for not believing you." I wipe the few tears falling off of my face. "Are you crying?" He asks with a low worried voice. "No I'll be fine. I just have to remove him from my life for good this time around." "That will be much better, he doesn't deserve your love." Carl states.

He drives me home with his car. I thank God he didn't allow Mike to fetch him. Minutes later we arrive at my home. "Call me if you need anything okay." Carl says, placing his cold hands on my face. "Okay I will, thank you." "For you it's always a pleasure." He replies, offering me a baby kiss on my forehead. I smile at Carl showing how I appreciate him for always being around when I need him. I then step out of the car heading to the house as Carl waits for me to enter before he leaves.

SUNDAY EVENING

The following day when I switch on my phone, I get twenty two missed calls from Mike and a voice note he left which I'm not ready to listen to more of his lies. I only reply to Carl's text which he sent today morning asking how I feel. Sammy has come to my place, to check on me. "Friend at least listen to the voice note and hear what he wanted to say." Sammy suggests. "I can't listen to more of his lies." I say blankly. "In fact let me delete this voice note." I take my phone in hand and delete it immediately.

"What did you just do?" Sammy asks in disbelief, placing her hands on her cheeks. "Yes I did it, I don't need Mike and his poisonous lies." I see her jaw drops. "Who are you and what have you done with my friend?" She asks with worry filling her voice. "I'm done with him. Oh gosh I am a bad friend." I say looking at Sammy with my hand covering my nose and mouth. I see Sammy widening her eyes in confusion. "How did you get home yesterday?" I question her and she simply laughs.

"You nearly scared me. Don't do that again." She sighs then speaks again. "After you left with Trigger, Mike offered to take me home." She adds. "Still that doesn't make me a good friend. I'm always thinking about myself first." I say. "You're a good friend Zoe, I understand really." She says, squeezing my hand. "You are not mad at me right, 100% sure?" "101% sure." She jokes. I hug her then we carry on chilling, trying not to talk about Mike.
